What is reiki?

Translated from Japanese, the actual word Reiki means 'Universal life-force energy'. Rei signifying 'universe' and Ki signifying 'life force'. This energy can be used to reduce stress, help relaxation and promote healing by using our hands in specific but simple hand positions that cover the most important energy centres (chakras), meridians, endocrine system and major body organs

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion.  It is  not dependent on any belief system, and will work whether you believe in it or not. We all have the ability to connect with the energy of Reiki, and it is quick and simple to learn and even easier to use. It is very effective and 100% safe.

Reiki is used today in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, traditional medicine. It is one of several alternative modalities offered in prestigious hospitals across the world.  It supports both orthodox and complementary treatments of all sort. A growing number of veterinary practices and animal rescue organizations also use it for the benefit of the animals. 

Reiki allows your wisdom to guide your daily life.

How?

Reiki works in a holistic, all encompassing manner. It gently enters deep inside and heals us from the core while opening energetic blockages. Very often the cause of dis-ease will be communicated through an imbalance in our bodies. This imbalance is normally the symptom. It is not the cause. Reiki finds and heals the cause. It does this by working on 4 levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. You also don’t need to be in a state of dis-ease to benefit from reiki, it acts as a preventative medicine restoring daily balance and harmony within the body.

Receiving reiki is a very simple process. The recipient simply lies on a Reiki table, then through a series of 14 non-intrusive hand positions reiki energy reaches the recipient through the hands of the practitioner. Reiki will pass through anything, from metal to plaster casts.
